The First Time I Meta, My Mind Clouded Over

You will probably have already read my blog entry on RSS and information aggregation, and if you've ever used a search engine, you will know that finding the information you want can take some skill, knowledge and patience.
RSS feeds and aggregators can only go so far to address that, you still have to sift through the article titles and/or abstracts to find the article you wanted. What about if you munged all your feeds together, did a little analysis and then produced a list of the top keywords found in those feeds, highlighting any that appear most often. Well now you can, it's kind of a search engine come RSS feed aggregator, only you get to pick the feeds, and it's called Tag Cloud. It has been sparked by all the meta-data that RSS feeds contain, and also the 'tags' or labels that people have applied to their online photograph collections held on Flickr. You can find out more from the Wired News Service who've written a far more comprehensive article about Tag Cloud than mine. Having a Tag Cloud on your website or personal web space is said to be another tool for the emerging/emerged web folksonomies which include Flickr and de.licio.us - I'll probably write a little more about the latter later.
You can see an example cloud on http://soyouwantajobinit.blogspot.com/ , its cloud currently includes its own Atom (a type of RSS feed) and a recruitment company's feed for IT related jobs, you can also see one at the top of this weblog which features cross referenced content from most of my weblogs.
As always, comments and further information are welcome.
